My submission about as non-down-home as it gets, but I felt like sharing.
I’ve recently re-acquainted myself with Television’s third lp–officially a reunion album, I guess, but it’s now 20 years old.
It’s better than I remember.
Here’s one of the lp’s creepier tunes…

“I wish I could enjoy the music but the current polls showing Obama up by 9% has made me sick.”
Me too… that’s way too close based on the recent history of the wingnut party, their refusal to acknowledge or admit their complicity and culpability the economic meltdown and resulting government debt, and the racist sandbagging of a president whom theyve hated from day one and vowed to stop at any cost… it means that you wingnut rubes still can’t or won’t learn from your mistakes and you want more of the same…
